a line of symmetry in a shape is the line which reflects on the other side of the shape, so you can get the same side onto the other side from an angle! :D I hope that this has helped!
triangle
isosceles triangle
Something that is symmetrical along a line. Like you could fold it in half and it would be the same. Like a rorschach inkblot. A butterfly. A person. The other kind of symmetry is radial symmetry, which is symmetrical from a point. Like a starfish. I think things that are radially symmetrical are always also laterally symmetrical, but there could be some weird exception to that that I can't think of.
That's true. For example, any piece of wood that is shaped with a lathe; the wood is rotated at high speed, and the carver holds his chisel against a template shape to allow him to reproduce this shape perfectly.
There are three elements of symmetry: 1-axis of symmetry It's a line which cuts the molecule into two equal halves. 2-plane of symmetry It's a plane which cuts the molecule into two equal halves (such as 'axis of symmetry' but axis is a line and here it's a plane). 3-center of symmetry It's a point in space that, if you draw a line from any part to it, and then extend the line beyond it, another atom will be encountered.
Yes. An isosceles triangle, for example, is symmetric about the bisector of its odd angle but has no rotational symmetry.
Insects have bilateral symmetry because if they had radial symmetry, they would have to be perfectly round. Bilateral symmetry is just when you cut something with a line of symmetry down the middle and both sides are symmetrical.
A symmetrical shape is said to have line symmetry. A shape that has line symmetry can have one or more lines of symmetry
a shape with a line of symmetry
Yes. Any equilateral shape can have both rotational and line symmetry.
A triangle has symmetry.
The line of symmetry in a shape is found be looking at the sides of the shape. If you see that two sides look the same, try to draw a straight line through them. The line of symmetry acts like the dotted line in which you fold you paper. If you can fold the shape across the line of symmetry, and the shape is exactly the same on both sides then you have found A line of symmetry.
circle
A semicircle.
The 2D shape which has one line of symmetry is the trapezium.
An isosceles triangle has one line of symmetry
An isosceles triangle has one line of symmetry
Symmetry is dividing a shape or figure in a certain way so that both sides are the same. Usually the line of symmetry, the line separating the shape, is a straight line.
There are infinitely many lines of symmetry. Every line can be a line of symmetry for a suitable shape.
